Old Dresser Planter...

Old Dresser Planter...:
I love unusual,
repurposed
 planters...

and have seen some wonderful
dressers turned into planters...


I had been wanting one to call my own...



when I found this beauty
:-)

for free...


I lined her drawers
with heavy duty garbage bags...

this will keep her glued joints
from breaking down...

and keep me from watering so much...



I nailed a couple drawers closed,
extra crooked...
for extra character...

planted her
and waited for her to fill in a bit...


she was looking pretty today...

so I thought
 it was time to share...




the small spaces
in the cracked open drawers...

are perfect for tucking little frilly plants,
that are easily lost in a bigger pot...



having a tabletop for my rusty urns
is also fun....



Happy Planting :-)


Today I am joining...
and


Thanks for stopping by today...

Broken To Beautiful

I bought this swan a long time ago at a garage sale.  I wish I snapped a picture of the swan when  it was new and also when it was falling to pieces.  It has been through all kinds of weather. It was so broken that the beak had fallen off, the wood on it would break in two so easily.  It was a hopeless case. I was told it was just a piece of trash and I just needed to throw it away.  I held onto it for a year or so.  wondering if it was really worth the effort.  It really was a piece of trash.  I started to glue the pieces together, but I couldn't find the beak. It took a while of digging around in boxes and I finally found it. I decided to make a plaster clay.  I worked on it for a long time letting it dry before continuing. I used aluminum foil to form a cheek for each side. I plastered it over several times letting it dry between applications. I had some broken porcelain pieces but I also had to break pieces for this project.  I used them to make a mosaic around the bottom. I ha
